Welcome to Eastwood Falcons Walking Football Club...
We’re here for players over 50 who don’t see age as a barrier to enjoying
the beautiful game. We welcome walking football players from all over Southend,
Leigh, Rayleigh, Westcliff and beyond.
We began as a small group in 2015. Several founding
players had links to the Eastwood Falcons of the
1970s and resurrected the name when EFWFC was
formalised in 2016. We exist to:
- Enjoy our football (and the banter)
- Improve and maintain fitness
- Meet people with similar interests
- Offer competitive opportunities if desired
Training is year-round and open to anyone who enjoys a kick-about regardless of skill level. Our over-50s, 60s, 65s and 70s men’s teams play in the Essex Walking Football League (EWFL) and the Walking Football National Cup with selection at the discretion of the team managers. We also have an Over 75s squad which in the current 2025 season is playing in a number of friendly tournaments ahead of a possible EWFL 75s division being launched in 2026.
Join us. For the love of the game.
LATEST NEWS...
Over 60s: 100% for Yellows; tough day for Blues...
Falcons Yellows won all three of their games on April 16 Matchday to go top of 60s Division 1 in spite of having only 6 players available; Things went the other way for Blues as they lost all three games with their best performance of the day a 0-1 loss to their Falcons clubmates. See table....
Over 75s: Positive signs at first EWFL tournament
Our Over 75s started their “inaugural” season at Billericay in early April as part of an EWFL initiative to see if there will be sufficient interest to form a 75s Division in 2026. The league has set five dates for friendly tournaments this year.
The squad was only 6-strong due to injuries and unavailability and lost its 3 group games but won a play-off for 3rd place on penalties (The oldest Falcons can take penalties!). Good signs for the future. Details here.
Save the Date: May 10

Over 65s: First points on the board on "derby day"...
Over 65s Yellows picked up 6 points while Blues notched 4 on a season-opening day that included a politely contested Eastwood derby settled by a single goal from Yellows' Gary Bell. Yellows details here; Blues details and report here.
Cheers to training days…
Tuesday training has added an important new fitness element with the bar at the Len Forge Centre now open for drinks immediately afterwards.
The clubhouse is now available to Falcons as the nursery has relocated to a different facility at LFC. The club celebrated with a free drink for members after training on April 22 which, unsurprisingly, saw a great turnout (pictured). Hopefully this will add a regular socialising element to our weekly activities.
